Our first interview features a real-life mother: Dr Rebecca Stewart. When she’s not writing her doctoral thesis on healthier masculinities through the lens of gender equality, she’s being an incredible mum — and generously chatting with us bozos about the realities of building a blended family.

Bec shares what it was like stepping into a parental role for two children during the uncertainty of COVID, before getting pregnant with her own. She opens up about the challenges, the joys, and how she manages to bring it all together.

Here our Mumma’s Boys take a moment to reflect on where exactly this podcast has led.

It’s a momentary reflection on what two 30-odd white guys, who’s mums died of cancer, can achieve by revisiting traumatic memories.

Sounds like sunshine and rainbows, and maybe it is, some of it at least.

From one boy to the other. In this episode, Mike delves into his journey of losing his Mum.

A story that put a hell of a lot of demand, expectation, and responsibility on a young man in his twenties.

It’s a story of adversity, and finding the capacity to make it out the other side, if there even is such a thing.

It’s also a story about tech f**king up at the worst possible time.

Mumma’s Boys is here. In episode one we dive headfirst into Charlie’s story about losing his mum, how it happened, how it impacted, and the resulting effects of that journey so far.

It proves an opportunity to explore the moments, and the emotions that surround grief.

And for someone with a pretty shit memory, it’s a chance for Charlie to rediscover elements of the story that otherwise might have been lost.
